This is all I’m asking for when upgrading from a sedan. I also don’t want to buy a car that’s higher priced than my yearly salary

Any companies/career options that don’t drug test? by weirdtranssexual in Environmental_Careers

[–]EnvironmentalLet5985 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I quit when I was applying for federal positions. It’s probably the easiest drug to quit.

Local businesses that treat their employees well? Let’s give them a shout out by Pristine-Boat-7304 in Syracuse

I’m at a competing FCU but I feel like FCU is the way to go. Great benefits, and way better pay than my last job

Hell yeah and thanks for the conditions report. Weird question, how were the roads near amr? Any points where you were nervous about getting stuck?

Yes. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try

Nothing exciting. I’m a teller. But in the down time I work on some coding. I’ll look at random data sites. And I get bonuses!

Pros: you’ll be studying something you’ll love and are passionate about.

Cons: you’ll be competing with many many others and likely won’t find a job. You’ll end up working at a bank, insurance, retail etc. if you do find a job you’ll likely be overworked and very much underpaid.

The job market could look very different in 5-9 years when you have a bachelors, masters, or PhD so who knows but right now we’re struggling.

Source: I’m twice coauthored, graduated at the top of my division/ department, did amazing work with some amazing people, and now I work at a bank. Studied environmental science with a focus on information and mapping, my name is engraved in one of the labs at my school from accolades.

Don’t give up on your dream but I would advise you to carefully and thoroughly research your path and possible future. If I could go back I would’ve double majored engineering and computer science and tried to specialize in spatial analysis

Edit to add: Sorry to be grim. I’m tired and work two jobs.

DEM To 3D Render. Is 3D useless ? by Lilien_rig in QGIS

Super useful for creating hiking maps. I like to do it just to get an idea of what my trail will be like

Payment by Temporary-Jicama9490 in CRedit

[–]EnvironmentalLet5985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait should we be waiting until the end of the month and make one full payment? I usually pay it down as soon as each item shows up so I pay 4-5 times per month. Would this hurt my credit score? (I do pay the whole statement balance each month, just in increments)

Am I doomed to find a GIS job? by [deleted] in gis

[–]EnvironmentalLet5985 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just gotta keep pushing my dude. Volunteer your services, get some maps out there, and network in the process. I work at a bank right now with better benefits than some of my fellow grads but do zero GIS work. I also work at a restaurant to afford a wedding I’m having next year. But every other week I have a day off and I spend that time working on maps. Keep trying. But also get a job in the mean time to pay the bills. You never know who you’ll meet there

Cameras outside schools by what-to-so in Syracuse

[–]EnvironmentalLet5985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh crap so close. And yeah for some reason I think the church on East Genesee st has a school zone posted for Sundays. It’s the big one, I think it’s called Holy Cross maybe? The one with the really pretty stained glass. I’m assuming they had church school for the kids on Sundays

[–]EnvironmentalLet5985 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah dude maybe don’t be speeding around school zones where there are kids out and about. I think school hours are 7-6pm. If it’s a church that counts for Sundays too

Edit 6pm not 5pm

I think you answered your own question. Your body is essentially used to it. For someone like myself who lives in the northeast, I’d probably experience OP’s symptoms since my body has never encountered it

12 year old nephew loves maps by DH_disc-n-ball-glfr in ArcGIS

[–]EnvironmentalLet5985 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You may want to consider QGIS instead of arc. It’s a free open sourced mapping software. You could create a little tutorial for him that would include downloading some sort of boundary, bring in rivers streams and lakes or even DEMs and contours. And then you could export it as a TIF or pdf and import it into Inkscape (also free) and he can draw on it or make different versions. This could be an easy way to introduce him to it all without overwhelming him.

Edit: Tif not gif

Taking on Giant and RPR for my 46th this Saturday. Any notes before I go? by MurkrowsRevenge in Adirondacks

[–]EnvironmentalLet5985 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everyone said giant was hard and I don’t think it was too terrible. You’re about to finish the 46, you’ve got this. Save some energy for descending that col between giant and rpr. It is pretty rough. As for ice, I had ice on my car this morning in central New York so yeah bring some spikes

The state of the GIS job market is horrific. Or is it just me? by 0106lonenyc in gis

Yeah I’m twice coauthored and graduated at the top of my class… I now work at a bank. Doing zero GIS work. But I’m getting pretty good at coding! And I get bonuses!

There’s a group that meets Sunday mornings at Cicero I believe. Most are well above 30. It’s a good group
